Navigating Grief by: Sue Leerhoff
They say you never see it coming But it's a land mine in the ocean As we're drifting out to sea We were manning all the stations All hands were on deck There was no such indication We were headed for a wreck Never to return Hindsight Foresight All Blindsided Ugly shrapnel, left in pieces That's what grief is Swirling in a whirlpool Going down in flames Listening for the signal Missed it just the same Cold and Dark and Silent Silent as the grave Tell me can you hear me Screaming out your name I thought I knew what grief was Thought we had been there before That was just the tremors The prequakes - The Before Then life blew to pieces Sanity went out the door All the Good times - All the Memoirs Can't remember where they are Stumbling, Mumbling Numb and Starving Blinded by the Dark and Fading in the Light It's not over, Not even close But light comes flickering Just so you know Someone still loves you And Jesus loves you SO This rhyme is on Repeat Day
